Why I Became a Dog Trainer
I am excited about increasing the welfare of the animals we call family by helping parents create strong and positive relationships through training with their dogs. One area I am passionate about is rescue and working through the unique challenges that these dogs have, especially with behavior modification to aid in separation anxiety, fear-based behavior and aggression.Background Before Becoming a Dog Trainer
Before becoming a dog trainer, I spent 23 years working as a Marine Mammal trainer with dolphins and sea lions, including at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. After that, I spent four years working as a zookeeper, training species such as polar bears, tigers, lynx, coyote and parrots.My Dog
I currently have a mixed breed dog named Raven Noodle, who I adopted from PAWS. Although unplanned, we foster failed and she became a part of the family!Testimonials
The puppy social was a great experience. I was impressed with our trainer, Allison. I was nervous going into the training with my 4 month old dachshund. Allison was reassuring and patient. We learned so much from the social and I look forward to other training opportunities with Tucker Pup's.
